If you can find someone I guess ! Wouldn’t waste time and money on it myself! It’s a farm truck you’re likley not going anywhere your going to be checked for emissions!

😅All good bro ! Just my 5 cents worth!

Just to note that the customer truck only had the plate installed under the egr valve he never had any of the usual egr cooler failures because it never saw any heat expansion or contraction! Looked totally stock!

You can cap off the egr valve make a plate to cover it and bolt it under the valve u need to cork off all the egr tubes ! And egr water coolant lines!The check engine light will stay lit but will not derate ! I did this to a customer truck shortly after he bought his truck new as an experiment! The truck ran for 150000 kms before we rebuilt the engine just because he wanted to! Not because it needed it! We also totally deleted a company truck egr cooler completely removed and it also worked fine for years like that! just saying!

My self I would install an 18 sp fuller more selection is in my mind always best regardless of engine band width ! More choices! That said if you already got that trans then its up to you! Also In my area the 18 is more widely available!

Great Minds Joey!

I like the shim stuck to the liner on install less chance of it getting dragged into the bore on install seen that happen as well! bead of scone on ledge and liner as Joey mentoined! again I been away from this for a bit but some things do stick around in my knogin !🙄

Joey or Heniz would know the shim the shim sizes available ! 2 thou increments Rings a bell for me But havent been there for a few years! You should clock the liners as you pull them and put them back in the same local if your going to try this!

You could try re retorque after a few heat cycles ( Crap shoot ) other than that you got to pull liners check for cracks and shim ! on the cheap a guy could scuff the liners and reuse! Done that ! Mack made us do this under Warranty once and NOT SCUFF the liners It worked oK but I prefer to scuf! just my opinion!

You want to be as Joey said 25 or better specially on high HP engines !! On the first E7 engines the spec was set low and it caused issues like this! I believe the low spec back then was 19 ! Had one that kept blowing rads up and popping water filters! odiously the filler cap was haywire too However! After the second water filter you have to dive in and figure out what the issue really is!

Yup to vague !

Yup good question should be a straight shot to the pan thru the block there is it not! Last time I checked Gravity is still working ! Unless it was just air locked! If that draft vent was clogged! Hummmmm!

Hummmmm!

I am quite confused about this post any how I Probably should just observe! 🙏

Joey what ever link you posted Aint workin!
